Dolphins-Jets Game In London To Kick Off Early

NEW YORK (CBSMiami/AP) — Football fans on the east coast will have to wake up extra early to see their teams play in London in 2015.
Fans of the Buffalo Bills and Jacksonville Jaguars will be having breakfast while watching their teams battle on Oct. 25.
The same thing can be said for the followers of the Jets and Dolphins when they face off in London on Oct. 4.
The Jaguars will host the Bills at Wembley Stadium in late October, with a 1:30 p.m. local kickoff. That means 9:30 a.m. on the U.S. East Coast.
Three weeks earlier Miami hosts the Jets, with a 2:30 p.m. kickoff, which also translates to 9:30 a.m. ET. London goes off daylight savings time on Oct. 25, thus the one-hour difference in England.
Last season, the NFL experimented with the afternoon kickoff in England when Atlanta hosted Detroit. It clearly was happy with the results, and opted for another this year.
No kickoff time has been announced for the Nov. 1 game at Wembley between Detroit and Kansas City.
